CD Reviews

Sweet and lovely
Olafur Stephensen | Reykjavik, Iceland | 03/08/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"In the past two years some of the best jazz pianists

have recorded solo albums - many of them under a strong

influence of Keith Jaretts solo efforts. These are very

good efforts, but not brilliant.



Now with this particular solo album, Stefano Bollini has

joined the exclusive group of jazz piano artists that

have recorded solo and done so extremely well.

His style is not too influenced by Jarett's smooth

approach, although one can detect some of Jarett's

popular "Finger-breakers" here and there.



Bollini's independent style ranges from serious Jelly Roll

left hand attacks to simple cord progressions that may be

an influence from pianists like Tommy Flanagan and late

Wynton Kelly.



With this album Stefano Bollini has placed himself amongst

the finest jazz pianists that record today. His dynamic approach

is both sweet and lovely, but always firm and pleasantly dynamic."
Absolutely beautiful!
J. M. Hitt | Everett, WA | 01/13/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a beautiful musical journey; a remarkable combination of textures which are soothing and rejuvinating. The amazing dance of tension interlaced within makes for a bath of inspiration that is a joy to soak in."
Wonderful improvisations
Dr. Aviv Weinstein | Zikhron Yaaqov Israel | 12/25/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"A highly recommended album, those who enjoyed his previous work on Brazilian music will find this album even more interesting and entertaining, enjoy!"
